Nicholas Pooran has been named Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR) captain ahead of CPL 2025. He will take over from Kieron Pollard, who has led the team since 2019, when he replaced Dwayne Bravo in the role.

Pooran, who is one of the most sought-after players on the T20 circuit, made his debut in the format as a 17-year-old in the inaugural season of the CPL for TKR, who were then known as Trinidad & Tobago Red Steel.

He switched to Barbados Royals (BR) and Guyana Amazon Warriors before returning to TKR in 2022.

He's played in all the CPL seasons so far except for 2015, when he was out injured due to an accident.
